Abstract: A method of forming composite components is described in which a composite lay-up is created using varying fibre types across the lay-up. This can adapt the lay-up to forming processes in regions of the lay-up to be formed and uses fibre types which give the greatest strength benefits in areas which do not need to be formed. Regions not requiring forming may have binders in them activated prior to a forming step or steps, after which the formed regions may be impregnated with a matrix and the component cured.

Abstract: In a printer assembly for image-wise providing a recording substance on a recording medium, the printer assembly comprises a print surface for supporting the recording medium; a gantry supporting a print head; and a medium supply assembly for step-wise supplying the recording medium over the print surface in a medium transport direction. The print head is configured to provide a swath of the recording substance on the recording medium arranged on the print surface in a scanning direction. The gantry is rotatable in a plane substantially parallel to the print surface such that the scanning direction is rotatable relative to the medium transport direction. Thus, skewing of the recording medium may be compensated such to prevent visibility of banding due to misalignment of subsequently printed swaths.

Abstract: The application relates to a hearing device, e.g. a hearing aid, comprising a) an input transducer for converting an input sound to an electric input signal representing sound, b) an output transducer for converting a processed electric output signal to an output sound, c) a signal processing unit operationally coupled to the input and output transducers and configured to apply a forward gain to the electric input signal or a signal originating therefrom, and d) a frequency shifting unit for de-correlating the processed electric output signal and the electric input signal. The input transducer, the signal processing unit, the frequency shifting unit, and the output transducer form part of a forward path of the hearing device. The hearing device further comprises e) a feedback cancellation system for reducing a risk of howl due to acoustic or mechanical feedback of an external feedback path from the output transducer to the input transducer. The feedback cancellation system comprises e1) a feedback estimation unit comprising e1.1) a first adaptive filter for providing an estimate of said external feedback path, and e2) a combination unit located in the forward path. The feedback estimation unit provides a resulting feedback estimate signal, which is combined with the electric input signal or a signal derived therefrom in the combination unit to provide a resulting feedback corrected signal. The application further relates to a method of operating a hearing device. The object of the present application is to improve feedback cancellation in hearing devices. The problem is solved in that the feedback estimation unit further comprises e1.2) a correction unit for influencing said estimate of the feedback path by diminishing a residual bias in said resulting estimate of the feedback path, said residual bias being (e.g. a result of the frequency shift) introduced by the frequency shifting unit. This has the advantage of improving feedback cancellation, in particular in an acoustic environment comprising tonal components. The invention may e.g. be used for the hearing aids, headsets, ear phones, active ear protection systems, handsfree telephone systems, mobile telephones, teleconferencing systems, public address systems, karaoke systems, classroom amplification systems, etc.

Abstract: Impaired intraocular blood flow within vascular beds in the human eye are associated with certain ocular diseases including, for example, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. A reliable method to quantify blood flow in one or more of the various intraocular vascular beds could provide insight into the vascular component of ocular disease pathophysiology. Using ultrahigh-speed optical coherence tomography (OCT), a new 3D angiography algorithm called split-spectrum amplitude-decorrelation angiography (SSADA) was developed for imaging microcirculation within different intraocular regions including, for example, the ocular disc, the temporal ellipse, the peripapillary retina, the peripapillary choroid, the macular retina, the macular choroid, the fovea avascular zone, and the area of non-perfusion. As described herein, a method to quantify SSADA results was developed and used to detect perfusion changes in early stage ocular disease. Associated embodiments relating to methods for quantitatively measuring blood flow at various intraocular vasculature sites, systems for practicing such methods, and use of such methods and systems for diagnosing certain ocular diseases are herein described.
